I have started using wordpress to create a website for my students. I have created users with contributor priviledges, so that they can write their own thoughts & submit them for moderation in the blog, but I don't want them to touch or get in the dashboard area.
I have tried Sidebar Login plugin which seems fit for my purpose, but it has some bug, which does not let it work as it suppose to. There was also no response from the developer regarding the problem.
Then I tried Press This tool in wordpress (Open Press This button) which seems perfect for my requirement, but I have no idea how to put Open Press This button in the menu bar in my site or at least to any of the pages.
Can anyone suggest a way out from the situation?

Essentially, what I am trying to do is to have a login/sign-up page at the front of my website. This means someone has to either log in or sign-up first before accessing the rest of the website. Exactly like how Facebook has done it on its website.
The login and sign-up forms work, however, the user's account is not displayed at the top bar navigation even after signing up.
I am using the Forminator plugin and can't figure out how to do this. I have already created the forms. I also do not want to pay for any pro version of a plugin at the moment.
I also tried to look for a solution to try and display the user's account profile on the top bar navigation but have found no solution as well.
I am willing to use any different plugins if they will help me solve the issue.
I am new in wordpress world and i am planning to do a small store website, all the functionalities i need are already there in woocommerce, but there is this small functionality i need which is as below:
in the homepage i need to show 3 different services are served from the company and each service will have a button which will show a popup or redirect the user to another page.
the popup or the new page will ask the user to enter his information along with his mobile number so the company could contact him.
and i have chooses this theme https://themebeez.com/demos/?theme=orchid-store
and here is a picture of where exactly the change will be
So my question is what is the fastest way to do that, is there a plugin to do this for me, or i should make the actual functionality myself and edit the theme code also manually?
Thanks.

the company and each service will have a button which will show a
popup or redirect the user to another page.
Basically 3 buttons that got you to another page. That can be easily done with just editing the template. Look the support documentation to see if your theme can be edited by some page builder (mine uses Composer, etc) and just add the "buttons", if not you need to edit the template manually with some HTML. Nothing to complicated, it just HTML, not PHP or JS.
the popup or the new page will ask the user to enter his information
along with his mobile number so the company could contact him.

Please clarify, popup or a new page? If it is a new page, when you create the 3 buttons on the homepage, just connect that to a new page each (in the Admin Panel, New>>Page). That it is easy as just but the <a href> tag. But also, that's just how I would do it in a short time.
So my question is what is the fastest way to do that, is there a
plugin to do this for me, or i should make the actual functionality

Asking for plugins is offtopic in SO, also, where is going to go that data? In the database? or is going to be sent to some admin email? Please see the How to Ask

Have you tried AddThis service? I'm using that for my blog and I have no complaints.
It is very flexible since you can customize which buttons to show.
It also comes with analytics, so you can analyze visitor interactions, their shares,...
I'm quite new to Wordpress and don't quite understand one simple problem that I have come across when working with the menu tool. I simply want to have the "register" and "login" buttons when the user is not logged in, and show a "profile" and "logout" buttons when they are, and with the theme I am using the login and register buttons seem to be shown regardless of the user status.
Any help would be much appreciated. I hope I've explained the problem enough for you.

Anybody knows a good plugin for Wordpress to provide a nice Admin dashboard which also cleans the regular Wordpress update mess. I do not want customer getting distracted with the loaded content in the backend with events, news and updates (messy content updates) in the Backend login? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if I understand what you're needing. If you're looking for a way to hide a lot of the stuff in the WordPress control panel, Adminimize is a good plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/
There are also plugins to hide the update reminder: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-update-reminder/
And to control what appears on the add/edit post page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/
Using a combination of the above, you can redirect users directly to the post page (skipping the dashboard) when they log in, and limit what they see in the control panel menu to an amazing extent. You can allow them to see widgets, for instance, but not see the themes page.
Hope this helps.

In the latest WordPress versions, >2.7, you can set the admin screen to display only a subset of the Admin widgets.
Just click on Screen Options at the top right of the Admin page to reveal option checkboxes.
For example, you can uncheck "WordPress Development Blog", and "Other WordPress News". You can even format the screen to be just one column and only show the "QuickPress" widget.
